Elke Sommer was a German-born actress and film star who reportedly saw a UFO in November 1977. While standing in her backyard one evening at about 10:30, she saw a glowing reddish-orange sphere floating by some trees about 150 feet away. The object was about twenty feet in diameter. After hovering for a few moments at a height of about one hundred feet, the UFO began to move toward her very slowly. Then it began to descend at a thirty-degree angle until it was twenty-five-to-fifty feet off the ground. Sommer ran indoors to fetch her husband, but by the time they returned, the object had vanished.
